Abstract

The toilet base gasket includes a beveled base ring and a replacement flange. The beveled base ring comes with a removable cover and both of which are placed in an existing closet flange prior to installation of the toilet. The replacement flange is a non-wax flange that has a plurality of cotter pins that are circumferentially aligned near an outer edge and of which apply a separating force against a bottom sealing surface of the toilet, and thereby creating a watertight seal between the toilet and the replacement flange as well as between the replacement flange and the beveled base ring.
